...requires a fair bit of Algebra) and I have some math background as part of my Economics coursework. As an undergraduate, I was a Philosophy major and an Economics minor. I think both disciplines are incredibly important and each has provided me with valuable skills—Philosophy has taught me how to write well and identify arguments, while Economics has taught me how to think about markets, mathematical models, and economic theories. In terms of my personal...

...new understanding opens up a new way of looking at the world, and I find these moments in math and science. In my free time I enjoy reading or spending time outdoors and if possible, both at the same time.

...to college and beyond. I am very patient and understanding by nature, and have a knack for getting to the root of any problem in order to help students understand it themselves. I am not interested in simply just giving you the correct answer.

...the rest of the population. Throughout, I have maintained a steady and patient demeanor that puts students at ease. Fostering an environment for learning involves allowing students to experiment with new knowledge and understand its limits. Incorrect answers are just as important as correct ones, in their own ways. I provide students with a safe atmosphere to discover both. I like working with middle and high school students mostly because they get my humor by...
